Description

Chicken breasts in a lemon-Romano cheese sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Romano cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap and pound to 1/4-inch thickness.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine flour, Romano cheese, salt, and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour mixture, shaking off excess.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add chicken broth and lemon juice to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Stir in butter and parsley. Cook until sauce has thickened slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Return chicken to skillet and spoon sauce over top. Heat through.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Serve over pasta or rice.
  • Garnish with extra Romano cheese and parsley.
